Senator Sanford gives his salary as a Sena-

spends more money than any man in either

the beginning of the session he makes a de-

Germany is now making artificial leather.
Pieces Of leather are washed, cut, boiled in

Curtis realizes this, and in Harper's Weekly
gives this candid expression to his disap-

been In any way officially incompetent and upsst-
lsiactory, or If they have violated the wise rule of
political rights there is doubt that the remoy-
as were ~ accord with sound principles of the
civil service. But If Mr.. Ham was removed
merely to make place for Mr. Holman, ana
captain Patten to make place for Mr. Morton
ana the TWO other gentlemen for similar reason,
tne removals are signal illustrations of the spells
system OF the public service.
As no reasons are publicly alleged, the public

a review OF the iron and steel Industries
shows that they have been unusually active
the past year. The production of pig iron.
bessemer steel and steel rails, open hearth
steel, structural iron and steel and some
other products has been much larger than in
1885, and the production of pig iron. Bes-
semer steel, Bessemer steel rails and open
hearth steel has been much the largest in
the history Of these Industries. The produc-
ton in these four leading branches in 1886
is estimated to have been as follows, COM
pared with the production of 1885: Pig iron.
100000 gross tons, against 4,o44, 526 In
1885; Bessemer steel ingots, 100000 gross
tons, against 1,5l9.43O in 1886; Bessemer
steel rails, 100000 gross tons, against
959.47i in 1885. and open hearth steel, 100000
gross tons. against 1885 in 1885. This
marked Improvement is due chiefly to the
revival Of railroad building, 1000 miles of
new road having been built in 1886. aeainst
1913 miles in 1885.

PRISON LABOR AGAIN

Inc questlon OF prison labor is full of ner.
piexitles and asolution satisfactory to every
body is well nigh impossible. 1t is NOT to bs
wondered at therefore that the plan adonted
In the Maine State prison exeites criticism
MT Aenas thompson states clearly in an
other column his objections to the present
arrangement. The principal one is that II
throws the entire burden of the competition
OK tho convict labor Of the State ON two in
oustrles-namely harness making and car
rage making, 1t does look as If this
involved some hardship, and was tax
ing the people engaged in those industries
altogether more than their proportional
snare Tor the support and instruction of con-
victs whom 1t belongs to the whole state IN
support and instruct. But where is the
remedyp To exchange these two industries
Tor two others would not help matters. and
the great mass Of the people would not eon-
sent TO the convicts remaining idle or en-
gaging In non-productive labor simply. The
Introduction Of more Industries would dis
tribute the competition more and mske n
less ieit by any one outside industry, but 1t
would not entirely cure the difficulty. The
introduction Of some industries not engaged
In TO any considerable extent In this State
would be still better remedy. 1t is said
that the coarser grade of vehicles, such "a
farm wagons and dump carts, and wheel
barrows are not made by private manufac-
turers here and that the manufacture of them
In the prison would injuriously effect mo-
body. II that be so why could not the pri-
son confine its manufacturing to this class
OF vehicles. The inspectors and private
manufacturers are in perfect accord in re-
gard to the principle that should govern the
selection of industries for the prison.
Both are of the opinion that such industries
should be selected as will bear most lightly
on outside free labor. The making of farm
wagons and dump carts would instruct the
conyicts in wood working and blacksmithine
1ustas effectively as the manufacture Of fine
carriages. Whether the State would receive
as much from it as 1t does from the manu-
facture OF fine carriages we don't know. But
II, as 1t Is said, it would compete with no
Maine industry that is strong reason for
its selection

The trial OF Professor Smyth ended Fri
day, and the board begins today with the
cases OF Professors Tucker, Harris and
Hincks. The final arguments on Friday
showed, If 1t had not already been shown.
that the issue Of the trial is to determine
whether Andoyer was anchored by its
creed to particular phase of theology in the
past, so that whoever subscribes the creed is
bound to believe and teach not only what
the creed says, but what the makers of the
creed wanted to say. and not only what they
wanted to say, but what they personalities
heved, precisely as they believed ID. Profess
sor Smyth held, in his defence. that the
creed is not irsn-clad, that in it the founders
qua not Tie up Andoyer Seminary, but that it
logically leads to those adjustments of
thought which are now necessary, and leaves
an open path for such as the future NAV re-
qulre, and he made his defence that as q
professor he had taught nothing ont of bar-
mony with that creed. When Dr. f,exrer mr.
the Congregationalist, made his statement
in behalf of the prosecutors, he confined his
argument mainly to the question of proba-
ton after death. He cited authorities TO
snow that from the earliest times, from the
time OF st. Augustine, the fathers and as
semblies to which evangelical Christians most
defer taught that there is mo chance to make
ascend trial for life after death" The the
ologian DIR. Timothy Dwight, one Of the
original Andoyer visitors, he cited as one
who believed that death Terminates the op-
portunity to repent" DIR. William IT
Dwight, one Of the old ministers Of Port
Land, is also quoted as one who held the
same views. MY object" says DR.. Dexter.
was to prove that the Andover creed. as a
whole, was SO related to all that it concerns
that the founders hoped and believed that II
was framed and constructed to prevent for
ever the possibility Of teaching out of it the
doctrine Of future probation" and he con-
cludes that the case Of the five profes sors
amounts to gigantic breach of trust.
Happily, however, these energetic words of
Dr. Dexter do not seem to be accompanied
py any bitterness OF heart towards the pro-
lessons. After the trial he conyersed pleas
antly with Professor Smyth and the other re-
spondents. The trial bids fair to be several
weeks in length, and to throw considerable
light on the obscure points of the Andoyer
creed. There is little prospect, however
that the question of future probation for
certain sinners will be any nearer solution
than ever.

During recent ministerial conference the
Gar is said to have declared that he would
have no war, and to- have shaken his fist al
one of the ministers who had manifested
Deilicose views. This is important If true
but occurrences at the conferences between
the Car and his ministers are not likely to
be made public. The minister that should
betray his masters confidence in this way
would be likely to experience something
very much worse than the shaking Of the
Cars fist in his face.

The Russian novel, Narka, by Kathleen O'Meara,
begins with remarkable yigor, and its thrilling
subject leads us to anticipate rare treat in which
the love story is skilfuly interviewer with an &C.
curate picture of Russian society and politics. The
war correspondent, Frank ID. Miet, describes
and Illustrates Summer Campaign with the Cos
sacks from his personal experience. Blackmore's
novel, Sprnehaven, which was omitted from the
December Number to provide space for Christmas
subjects, is resumed with double instalment Of
over fifty pages, with twelve illustrations by Bar
nard and Parsons. L. p. Roe's Home Acre arti-
ces are continued with further treatise in brief
lively style, on The Kitchen Garden. A clever
Georgia story of Dukesborough life before the
War, entitled Martha Reid's Levers, by r.. NJ
Johnston, is admirably illustrated by f. w. KEN
Bile. Theodore Child, the Partisan art critic, con-
tributes a timely and readable review Of the

A DUTY OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Gardiner Ton,nol

An American Type Setter Company was
organized in Portland Saturday, with cap
ital stock Of a million dollars-not a cent
paid I'M OF course the parties do not pro-
pose TO do business in Maine. It would be
interesting to know how many of the moon
shine companies have been organized in this
State by outside parties within the past 1--WE
years Our law which allows outside par
companies here without dollar of bcnafide
capital or any visible effects, looks like an
open gateway to swindler's paradise. Pru-
dence and common sense would seem to die
tate that only companies which propose to do
stantial cash basis should be allowed to ar
ganize within eur borders. If the Legisla-
ture fails to put stop to this kind of bust
ness at the approachingIsession, it will be a
neglect of duty that the people of this State
should make note of.
